This is how my middle split looked like after I got home from ballet class. I did take photos in the studio but since they’re not in the same angle I decided to take some new ones when I came home. It’s starting to feel good. I hope I’m able to make some more progress during this last month of the challenge!

Our tendu jeté combination that we’ve done every class for this term. I actually like to do the same combination each week since it takes to long for me to remember the combination. When we do the same combinations every week I actually have the chance to focus on doing them correctly once I’ve memorized them. I like these videos because you get to see how our classes look like. They’re very happy and joyful, but we get serious when we do the combinations.

I’ve got this question a couple of times during this last month so I thought I try to organize a little blog meeting/get together for adult ballerinas. I got a request to pick a day close to Christmas, when most of us are free and able to meet. I’m going to bring my skirts too so you can try them on and buy them right away if you want to. I know that a few of you live in Finland so if you’re going on a cruise or are in Stockholm for some other reason it would me wonderful if you would come as well.

The date I have in mind is the 20th of December, which is a Sunday. I’m thinking of a coffee place in the middle of Stockholm, where it’s easy for everyone to get to. I’m thinking somewhere around 13:00 or 14:00 so we have time to get to Stockholm but I can do it later as well.

Here’s a video of when I made this Christmas card yesterday. I ordered the photos online and cut them into appropriate sizes. If you are interested I can show you every tool I’ve used. I like my Christmas cards very personal (as you can see) and I like them clean and fresh without being boring.

I’ve noticed that some parts are out of the frame but most of it is visible. I’m using a sponge color pad to decorate the edges of some pieces and a pen to color the stamp some more. Most of my things are bought at Panduro (a hobby store in Sweden).
